As Gio Urshela’s go-ahead home run was sailing far over his head into the seats, Orioles center fielder Cedric Mullins still leapt and climbed the wall to try to bring it back in, and with good reason.
The bottom of the Orioles order started a rare rally. Rookie right-hander Dean Kremer largely got the better of the visiting Yankees. But Urshela’s blast to end a nine-pitch battle with reliever Travis Lakins Sr. was the difference in a 5-4 Orioles loss before a sellout crowd of 10,809 at Camden Yards on Friday night.
The Orioles had taken the lead in a fifth inning that they entered trailing 2-1.
